The Karanas

The eastern most section of the plains of Karana is an open land with few rolling hills and the majestic granite peaks of Highpass bordering to the east. This impressive area contains a few outposts, such as the small village of cottages located near the granite peaks to the east. Toward the northern reaches of the plains, east of the small village, the earth rises to form a massive valley that leads to the Gorge of King Xorbb.

To enter the Eastern Plains of Karana, one must cross the enormous wooden bridge that grants passage over the Serpent River, a wide waterway that cuts through the whole of Antonica from north to south. Legends claim that this massive bridge, which connects the Northern and Eastern Plains of Karana, was built by the giants during a great battle. Once the bridge is crossed and the eastern plains entered, one will immediately see a path that leads up to a stone monument, directing adventurers and travelers toward the proper roads for Qeynos and Highpass. Standing watch at this marker are two paladins, Sir Morgan and Squire Wimbly.

Beyond the road, the wide, open expanse of plains and gently rolling hills is filled with an assortment of creatures. Many of the region's native species are extremely ferocious, attacking any who cross their path. A great chasm to the north of the bridge is home to hardy creatures such as the poisonous chasm crawler snakes and the chasm hounds.
